coats of arms

Almost all the kids finished their coats of arms yesterday. I snapped a shot of them showing off their shields outside. When I looked at the photo again I was surprised to see how different and individualized each crest turned out. Henry's, for example, is strictly abstract, while other art clubers took time to select personalized symbols, letters, and color fields. Several of the students said they were going to hang these up at home in their rooms. I think they were quite proud of them.
